Practice Advice

Integrating artwork into your counselling practice

Demonstrations with members of the group will enable delegates to observe first-hand how and when to introduce artwork and then, practising in pairs, they will be able to experience the different interventions first hand. We will discuss the impact of working creatively and explore together the effects this might have on the therapeutic alliance. Guidance will be given as to which clients are suitable for this kind of intervention, and some contra-indications. Casework examples will be given, plus contractual and ethical considerations, and practical skills work on how to introduce and facilitate creative interventions and how this moves the therapy forward.
